We are a team of experienced, professional counsellors who all work as unpaid volunteers for Side to Side. We all either hold a diploma in counselling or are currently working towards our diploma.
Trainees have already been in training for quite some time before they start to volunteer for Side By Side. Before trainees begin to counsel clients they are assessed by their qualified tutors.
We work with our trainees to help their development as a counsellor and all counsellors, trainee or qualified, must attend regular supervision sessions to make sure that they are counselling safely and ethically.
